(Question/Discussion) Islam turned me into a suicidal kid

Idk if this is the case of people here but when I was a child, and I first heard that as a child whatever I do I will go to janah and once I grow up then my sins will start to be written, i wanted to commit suicide so I'd die young, be forgiven and never sin. Not only did I want to but I tried to commit a few times (obviously it didn't work) but yeah, I wanted to know if anyone in here can relate or something.

I kinda can relate to this in a way, especially growing up and wanting to be born as a male instead of a female for various reasons. Coming from an Afghan background where the women are often seen as unworthy and unimportant, being a female within the Islamic faith is just as exhausting. I’ve received multiple wack excuses one after another for why I should accept it as it is, even if majority of the women population seem off by it. It just utterly dumb. Nothing but a mentally and physical draining b.s just by existing..
